Griffin iTrip FM transmitter for docking iPods

Pros: It conveniently mounts on top of your iPod, eliminating wires.

Cons: The signal is not strong enough and full of static/interference.

Summary: This unit is so cool looking. No cables hanging off your dashboard. Mounts directly on your iPod. I have an U2 version. But, I'm sure it looks quite cool on the white ones.
I bought it. Took it home, followed the setting up instructions. So far so good. Everything was nice and working. Then, I took it into my car and bam, the reception was so crappy. My car antenna is to right side of the hood, so that's a pretty short distance.
I was extremely disappointed.
I took it back.
A few weeks later decided to go for a direct to antenna fm transmitter. It's as good as the cd player on my car stereo.
This iTrip unit is a total disappointment.
